My friend & I were looking for a craft to do. We are new to crafting so we wanted some ideas. We…read morespoke with Tammy who was awesome. She suggested Diamond Art & opened up a kit to show us how it worked. We both purchased different ones & have been enjoying doing them ever since. As I was progressing with mine, I realized that I was missing some blue beads so I went to the store to try & purchase them separately. They didn't sell them separately so I went to see if Tammy was in that day & had any suggestions because she was so helpful originally. Low & behold Tammy was in. I shared my experience with her. This is what she did for me. She opened up another kit the same as mine & not only gave me the blue colour I needed but also gave me two other colours that she thought I may need. During these difficult times in the world it sure is great when we get good customer service. We will be going to see her again to see other craft suggestions. Thanks Tammy, you're the best.

THe ladies are quite friendly and there is actually a kitting guild at the same place. but, I never join their Snb, it should be quite good. One thing I don't like is: they have a cat there! It's a bit "smelly" inside the store.. not sure if you can find the hair of the cat, if you are allergic to cat, better don't go! Price is a bit higher than the other local yarn stores, so, I didn't buy much from them, unless I couldn't find such yarn in other stores. They do have a special discount section at the back of the store, it's worth to go and check them out. It's really a good deal! I bought some JOY yarn over there with very good deal! They have lots of magazine back issues, it's great to check them out. However, they don't have many pattern books, and not very updated too. They have lots of buttons selection, so, it's great to buy them at the same time if you are going to knit a cardigan!

There are numerous scrapbooking exhibitors at the two day event. It's usually on a Friday & Saturday. Some ppl travel all across Canada just for this event ! Lots of make & takes, contests, photobooth, prizes, interesting workshops and best part.... the 2 day all day crop :D If you're thinking WTF? Think of it like this... 2 days doing what you love ! No distractions and perhaps with some good friends! Purchase your tickets early. I noticed some of the workshops sell out fast ! Max 25 seats for the classes. I guess that's why. Looking forward to the next one !

They carry quilt fabrics and yarn - no regular fabrics for making clothing - perhaps they should let go of the Sewing Centre moniker. The staff far outnumbered the customers and were a little too pushy. Are customers not allowed to wander and look at the products anymore? If staff don't see eye to eye with each other, perhaps they could wait until potential customers have left the store. One of the employees was trying hard to end the heated discussion by suggesting they talk about this later in private but the other kept pushing - not professional.
